proxy_store is not cache, it's rather mirror on demand:

location /images/ {
    root                 /data/www;
    error_page           404 = /fetch$uri;
}

location /fetch {
    internal;

    proxy_pass           http://backend;
    proxy_store          on;
    proxy_store_access   user:rw  group:rw  all:r;
    proxy_temp_path      /data/temp;

    alias                /data/www;
}

if file is not found, then it will be fetched from backend and stored
in 'root/alias' or in path specified explicitly:

proxy_store   /data/www$original_uri;
